804 West 180th Street, Apt. 7 $142,000 studio
Even for Hudson Heights, this studio is affordable. (It’s among the cheapest apartments in Manhattan right now.) It’s a bargain because: A previous buyer failed to pass the board; the owner has already moved out and is anxious to sell. Broker: David J. Thompson, Klara Madlin.

983 Amsterdam Avenue, Apt. 3A $365,000 two-bedroom
A renovated two-bedroom for less than the average price of an Upper West Side studio, per data from the appraisal firm Miller Samuel. It’s a bargain because: It’s an income-restricted building, meaning you can’t earn more than $64,500 if you’re buying alone, and $73,725 if you’re buying as a couple. There’s also a flip tax, so your profits are cut when you sell. Broker: Keith Davidson, Corcoran.

20 East 9th Street, Apt. 2R $490,000 studio
It’s the size of a one-bedroom, in a top-shelf Village co-op. Also, the board now allows parents to purchase for their children (NYU moms and dads, take note). It’s a bargain because: The seller’s willing to negotiate—she’s already moved out. Broker: Jason Karadus, Prudential Douglas Elliman.

32 West 82nd Street $475,000 one-bedroom
A pristine three-room on a high floor in a co-op off Central Park. The owner paid $415,000 for it in 2005. It’s a bargain because: It’s a pied-à-terre, and the owner has just traded up and wants to sell. Brokers: Jennifer Wening-Hausman and Joel Moss, Warburg Realty.

95 Wyckoff Street, Apt. 2DBoerum Hill $550,000 two-bedroom
A renovated duplex, just off Smith Street—a really solid hip-couple-with-a-baby apartment. After two months on the market, it’s already been marked down $65,000. It’s a bargain because: The owners are buying a house and need to sell. Maintenance will be going up $100 a month to fix up the building’s common areas, but that has its upside, too.Broker: Teri Cavanaugh, Corcoran.

446 Kent Avenue, Apt. 4FWilliamsburg $950,000 two-bedroom
Another unit in the building with the exact same layout is asking $25,000 more. Considering this one sold two years ago for around $875,000, the appreciation reflects less than a 10 percent rise in two years. It’s a bargain because: The owner’s an investor and his tenant’s leaving; he’s itching to lighten his portfolio. Broker: Marlene Steiner, Corcoran.

158-18 Riverside Drive West, Apt. 6FG $999,000 three-bedroom A 1,700-square-foot true three-bedroom with Hudson River views in a full-service building for under a million dollars—less than the average price of a Manhattan two-bedroom. It’s a bargain because: It’s been on the market for 141 days, and it started at $1.275 million. Broker: Kelly Cole, Corcoran.

Between $1 Million and $2 Million

201 East 17th Street $1.025 million two-bedroom
A similarly sized apartment in this building is rumored to be in contract for $1.25 million, says the broker, and although it’s been renovated, it’s on a lower floor. It’s a bargain because: The sellers are eager, and it could use some work. Broker: Veronica Raehse, Bellmarc Realty.

30 Beekman Place, Apt. 7C $1.799 million four-bedroom
At $803 per square foot, this four-bedroom on Beekman Place is asking $200 less than the average for the area (per Streeteasy.com). In 2006, a two-bedroom on a lower floor sold for $1.885 million. (The common charges are admittedly high: $4,887 per month.) It’s a bargain because: Services include porters who drop your mail at your door and pick up recyclables and garbage. Broker: Tracie Hamersley, Citi-Habitats.

37 West 12th Street, Apt. 3F $1.799 million two-bedroom
The broker claims it’s the most affordable apartment in a first-rate co-op in the Village, and he may be right. It’s a bargain because: The price is typical, but the perks are not: central air, custom moldings, and a gym that charges $3,000 for a lifetime membership. Broker: John Gasdaska, Corcoran.

62 West 62nd Street $1.995 million three-bedroom

16 West 16th Street, PH-HN $1.995 million two-bedroom A rare one: a nearly 2,000-square-foot two-bedroom, three-bath penthouse with outdoor space in the Flatiron district for under $2 million. It’s a bargain because: It’s hard to find a Chelsea two-bedroom of this size anywhere near that price. Brokers: Mara Flash Blum, Sotheby’s International Realty.
